sbhikes Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I have an appointment in three days to fill in the one rose in my tattoo that didn't get finished in the first round. In the mean time I assumed the peeling would stop by then. It will have been exactly 2 weeks when I go in for my appointment. Right now there is still a little sunburn-like peeling just around the edges on the clean skin, not on the tattooed skin. It's not everywhere. Most of it has cleared up, but there is a little, especially in the more detailed spots on the leaves. I kind of continue to hope it'll be all gone by Monday, but I can't believe how long it is lingering. If this doesn't stop by Monday, do you think I'll be turned away when I show up? Should I reschedule now so that I don't leave his night empty? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colored Guy Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 When in doubt, stop by the shop and ask the artist what they think. I've been healed up nicely in 10 days, but generally 2 weeks should be fine even with minor peeling. Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbhikes Posted May 22, 2013 Author Share Posted May 22, 2013 I ended up going down there to ask him. He didn't seem that certain and I ended up having to go around to all the guys for their opinion. In the end I kept my appointment and everything worked out okay but man it really hurt way more than the first session. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had 2 worked on more than once, alternated the outline/shading and coloring. So everything had time to heal up. Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slayer9019 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 When in doubt always ask the person who did it. Depending on the spot I can be all peely for a decent amount of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
